Can something be both rhetorical and fictional?

Sure, it can. Sometimes a fictional story can be used rhetorically to make a point or convey a message.

Sure, it can. Sometimes a piece of writing uses rhetorical devices to enhance the fictional elements and make the story more engaging.

Perhaps Helen Story is a relatively unknown rhetorical writer. It might be a good idea to look for her works in specialized rhetorical literature collections, local libraries, or academic databases. If she is a local writer, local writing communities or historical archives might also hold some information about her.

Yes. A book can have elements of both. For instance, fictionalized biographies.

Yes, there are. Some parts of the Bible are based on historical events and figures, while others contain symbolic and allegorical stories.

There are many rhetorical sentences. Here are some common examples: His speech was full of appeal, as if he was conveying truth and hope to the audience.

Rhetoric: This sentence uses the rhetorical device of analogy to enhance the effect of the expression by repeating "his eyes","full of deep power" and "as if he could see through everything". Her performance was full of passion and charm, as if it brought the audience into another world. Rhetoric: This sentence uses a personification rhetorical device to personify the "audience" into "people" to enhance the emotional effect of the expression. The night view of the city was as beautiful as a huge painting. Rhetoric: This sentence uses a contrasting rhetorical device to compare "night scene" and "painting" to emphasize their differences. His voice was full of power as if it could shake people's hearts. Rhetoric: This sentence uses exaggerated rhetoric to amplify the "sound" to the extent of "shocking" to enhance the effect of the expression.

Whether it's insulting or not really depends. If the comparison is made to belittle or mock the person, then yes. But if it's done in a fun, non-malicious way and the person understands the intent, it might not be seen as insulting.

It depends. In some cases, like certain science fiction stories, it can be fictional. But in astronomy, planets and other celestial bodies circling the sun is a real phenomenon.
